Our Instructors
Nicole Tait
I am a pole dance and movement coach. I am passionate about working with adventurous people who want to own their bodies and discover the infinite possibilities of movement available to them. I specialise in leading Creative and Contemporary Pole style sessions and have travelled and learnt from many inspiring instructors from different dance and pole backgrounds. My journey of finding my own value and love of what my body is capable of achieving has allowed me to help my clients uncover their own strength and confidence. My progressive tool box of dance and movement methods facilitate connections between me and my clients and also with the blossoming community I have nurtured here at Get Fit and Fly. My goal is to have everyone in the room believe that ‘The power is within you’.

The newest addition to the team at Get Fit and Fly, I qualified as a pole dance instructor in 2023. Growing up, I hated almost every sport until I signed up for pole at university a few months before lockdown and fell in love with it! After finishing my degree in 2021 and over a year without pole, I joined Get Fit and Fly as a student and immedialtey felt welcomed, attending as many classes as I could. I completed my Xpert Instructor Course in 2023 and now teach beginner's pole dance classes at Get Fit and Fly. Seeing my beginners smash their goals and grow in both their strength and confidence brings me such joy and is so inspiring to watch. If you feel like giving pole dance a shot, come along to one of my beginners' classes for some positive vibes and zero judgement and within a few weeks, you could be hanging upside down feeling super strong, or dancing round the pole with confidence!

I joined Get Fit and Fly as a student of pole in 2017 and have never left! I love teaching the solid foundations of training as it sets the stage for members to become confident and strong in their lifts.
I have a huge amount of pride in everything about our studio, not only on a personal basis with pole and my own body, but also for everyone here. Everybody is really keen to celebrate all wins, whether it’s a beginner or someone who has been there long-term – there is no scale to our celebrations! This studio and its community are a great source of joy to me – I have gained many friends, so much strength, so much sureness in my body, and the ability to really cheer and help others flourish.
Britt is an exuberant ray of sunshine in the studio and has been a student with us since 2017. After attending various other studios for a few years we are so happy she settled with us and started teaching with us in 2018 .Her dynamic pole style is always jaw dropping but don’t be fooled, she loves teaching all levels of pole . Britt also teaches our brilliant Intrinsic Heels class and is ‘Essential Science of Heels’ qualified.

Alex
Alex is non binary, semi human, and 100% little guy who likes shiny metal things that they can spin round again and again. They originally started pole because they had an intense fear of being upside down but wanted to get stronger – they had a skripper pal at college that suggested pole class, and now he’s staring down the barrel of a ten year pole-versary! It’s been an up and down metal adventure with multiple years off in between due to life doing what it does best, but they’re excited and grateful to be welcomed into the Get Fit & Fly Familia! Alex loves to mix up their movement style, sometimes its soft, buttery floorwork, other times he’s swinging about and flippy flopping all over the place – could we call that versatile?? Alex is passionate about the decriminalization of SW and skripping and they use pole dance as a way to pay homage to the SWers who have historically (and currently) been at the forefront of fights for equal rights to all. When first attending Get Fit & Fly classes in 2023, it was clear from the first spin that this studio was actively committed to embracing pole’s past, supporting SWers of the present and creating an inclusive space for all. Alex is truly ecstatic to be part of the studio and hopefully help new folks on their pole journey just as the rest of the team helped them!
